From the National Memo
Rita Bosworth was heartbroken on November 9, and the presidential election was only the beginning. While she was relieved that California had elected a Democratic senator, she couldn’t shake the feeling that it was politically and financially wasteful for the candidates, both Democrats, to have spent $20 million on a single race.
“It occurred to me,” she explained to AlterNet in a phone interview, “that the $20 million race could have been spent in another state, where a Democrat was battling a Republican.”
